Do you consider cole slaw a vegetable?

I asked my husband to get potato salad and a veggie to have with dinner tonight and he got potato salad and coleslaw.
I don't think it's a veggie. He does. What do you all think?

Obviously the more sugar and mayo, the less one might think it to be as healthy, but it can be.

Smattering of carrot, mostly white cabbage with Mayo. Seems redundant with potato salad.
